HP STORES
In order to provide a more unified customer experience at the point of sale and to respond to competitor's aggressive entry in major retails, HP LATAM has decided to create a franchising program named HP STORES to improve the customer experience and to make the HP brand stand out while substantially improving up-sell, accessories attach rates and brand awareness. More than 100 stores were opened in the region in the first year and a half (2007-2008).
